‘Bohemian’ leather shoe brand set for relaunch

02/08/2019
Shoe group Caleres is relaunching Zodiac, a brand set up in the 1970s by two tannery owners looking for a use for their scrap leather.

“Now is the right time for Zodiac to return to the global marketplace,” said Jay Schmidt, brand portfolio division president of Caleres.

The company is described as a “heritage brand with a foundation in bohemian and western design trends”.

Caleres said: “Worn by groupies, rock stars and socialites alike, Zodiac became the signature footwear of the ‘blue jeans and rock-n-roll’ culture. The irreverent combination of mixed and distressed leathers accented with distinctive hardware embodied the cool, free-spirit attitude of the times.”

Zodiac will be unveiled on August 5 during New York Shoe Expo and will be for sale in spring 2020.
